Over the past few years, Buick has made updates to popular SUVs, like the Buick Envision. With its recent changes, Buick improved in overall quality, as demonstrated by J.D. Power’s latest quality study, and outshined other automakers.

There’s no doubt that virtually all automakers have made
steady improvements in areas, such as connectivity and driver-assistive safety
features. Buick, in particular, has added some impressive technology features
to the newest models in its lineups. However, while new connectivity technology
is a great thing, traditional vehicle functions are still important to the overall
vehicle quality. With its higher J.D. Power ranking, Buick is proving that its
vehicles have a great balance between innovative tech and dependable
functionality.

The J.D. Power study is based on surveys given to new
vehicle lessees or owners, who have had their vehicles for 90 days. The study
asked drivers 233 questions in eight different categories and covered
everything from minor problems, like Bluetooth® connectivity, to major
problems, like powertrain issues.

J.D. Power found that, on average, real drivers reported 93
problems in every 100 vehicles. Buick drivers reported fewer overall problems
than the average, with drivers finding only 92 problems in every 100 vehicles.

Notably, Buick saw a large improvement in overall quality
while many competitors didn’t see much of a change in quality. Buick earned the
11th place overall, which is much higher than its 16th placement previously.

The Marketplace app in new Buick models
will now make dining out easier with the addition of Yelp Reservations.

The Marketplace app is a game-changing, useful
tool now included in new GM infotainment systems. It makes time-consuming
roadside purchases faster and easier by allowing you to shop from within your
car. With the Marketplace app, you can use your vehicle’s infotainment display
to make purchases such as gas and coffee from the comfort of your driver’s
seat.

The Marketplace already offers a long
list of participating merchants,
including a number of gas stations and restaurants. With the addition of Yelp
Reservations, the list of venues available from your vehicles has expanded even
more. With just a few taps on its infotainment display, Buick Marketplace can
find an appropriate restaurant and book your table through Yelp.

A variety of customizable search options
will help you narrow down your dining destination by search area and cuisine
type. It can even provide ratings for the venue from Yelp’s massive repository
of customer reviews. Once you’ve found the perfect dining location, simply
select the details for the reservation, and the Marketplace app takes care of
the rest.

Follow your Buick’s navigation to your
destination, where your reserved table will be waiting for you. If you have
special requests, or if you just prefer talk in person, the Marketplace app and
Yelp can connect you directly to the restaurant’s phone number.

Curry Auto Center has many new Buick
models in stock that feature the Marketplace app. Come visit us to see how it
